Your argument about "total exposure over a lifetime" can be applied to literally every single thing people ingest or do.

Can be, but the ones that we know are harmful, like lead, have or are being removed from the cycle. I'm sure you're doing a logical fallacy of sorts here, appeal to tradition or something - just because it happens with something else, doesn't make it right.

No, we shit, piss, and/or otherwise emit most things back out. Chemicals which genuinely bioaccumulate are naturally rare and we should be careful with them.

the point of PFAS and the related fear is that 1) they are NOT rare and are everywhere, and 2) we don't piss them out

Because you definitely need it if you thought your comment did anything.
